Replace center console with bench seat?

Hello,

Is it possible to switch out the center console on an '11 or '12 F-350 and replace it with a folding bench seat? I need to be able to seat 6!

Thanks for any advice!

MMM

Yes. All the trucks should come with the same mounting locations regardless of which seat configuration it came with. Finding a bench with power seats might be a little more difficult(impossible?) though. The fold up console/split seat might work better if you want to keep the power options.

Thanks. Yes, I want to replace with split folding seat. How do you incorporate the rear air since it seems the center console contains a rear air channel/vents. Is this something a Ford dealer can do?

You will lose the rear air if you give up the center console.

I haven't been in the 11-up models, so I don't know what the air set up looks like, but could he not build a box to mount under the seat and just run the duct work through it?
